| Handling the manipulative, backstabbing office psychopath
Workplace psychopaths exist in a variety of workplaces. They are individuals who manipulate their way through life and leave an indelible mark on both their victims and society. They are destructive men and women – cunning, self-centered, ruthless and terrifying. They make working life a living hell for many of us. Dr John Clarke will go deep inside their minds and enlighten you on – What motivates these individuals? How can you protect yourself from these ‘monsters’ who hide behind a veneer of respectability? How to be wise to their tricks? Don’t miss this session so you don’t become their next victim.
